everyone overseas who ordered the delux edition got ripped for an extra $100 almost for the delivery of the thing off UPS! on TOP of the $50 shipping they paid!
in fairness overseas fans get ripped on more than US members.
I don't hate the 10C. They did what they needed to do to distribute the eV tickets. I lost out on the lottery but oh well. I'll still try to get tickets elsewhere.

i didnt mean my comment as a shot at people overseas.
I was just pointing out that no matter what happens, someone, somewhere doesnt quite get it as good as someone else, and will complain.
I don't, I think they do a good job, some people think it should be run like a corporation like IBM and get every ounce of satisfaction they can out of it. leaving no leway or compassion for human error or things that may be out of ten club's control (band decisions) I can pretty much sum it up with 2 words.
I like 10c. I won this time but was out on EV east and west coast last time (though I got tix through TM anyways). They take care of everyone the best they can and for $20 how can you complain. Plus they got me 5th row for PJ n QC and I will always appreciate that.

Be glad you have one. I don't have one because I DIDN'T order from ten club. I will never be that stupid again, ever. I'm at wit's end over what I'm going to do now.

I don't hate the 10c.. I don't think they owe me anything. Neither does the band. A lottery is a lottery.. it's a chance.. Just like logging on to TM is a chance, and scalping is a chance.
I don't have an issue with them. They give me an extra oppurtunity for tickets... With out them we'd all be stuck just using ticketmaster.
With that said there are ways they approach things that I don't agree with, but that's no big deal... Things are like that in life. We just have to get over it

yeah, the tickets are the main reasons i keep renewing my membership. i don't know of too many bands that do that. maybe 2.
I lost the lottery too and I'm ok with that. I knew that I was not guaranteed to win the lottery...but it was nice hoping! I do like this system, although there is always room for improvement.
At least they tried something new.
I love Ten Club!
I'll use the money to buy the SDE this week.
People just need to vent, that's all...and 10c is used to it, but I think they also appreciate the balance - the love from us!
JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?
EV: It's your band.

You're at wit's end because you didn't order a deluxe edition from the 10 club? Why not go to a local store or one of the many online stores to buy one?
Yeah, your title sucks and nothing could be further from the truth.
A very small % of members complain. They just do it loud. You don't see 100's of positive threads cause people are way more apt to speak up when upset.
You have the nicest restaurant in the world and you get a 90% to 10% bad comments to good. Why, cause people leave happy and quiet when everything is good, but scream, shout and complain when something upsets them.
Just human nature.
When every people's emotions flare up and they don't get something they are going to whine and bitch. Those people are ridiculous, but they are not everyone, more like hardly anyone.
every time i come on here someone is whining about 10C.
I don't hate TenC and I don't think everyone hates them either. Like any good consumer, I think some folks just get frustrated and vocalize there concerns and TenC does listen believe it or not. They may not always agree but I have seen wherever there is something very valid that hey can improve, they do.
Now, if i could get them to fix my damn username on the forums I would be completely happy
I think 10c did a great job and tried to address some of the problems from last year. They worked their arses off and deserve alot of credit for a hard job and keeping things so organized. I didn't win but am happy for those who did and hope I'll be able to get tickets somehow. Thanks 10c for all your efforts.

You have a huge fan club, with folks who have been in it longer, and in some cases, much longer than others.
So you get the age old 'seniority/member # argument'.
Then you have people who are in front of a computer more than others when tickets 'hit', or are more aware of 10c news. I have the benefit of logging on from work, but others dont and may get shut out for that.
You also have issues of the most important entity: The band. Where they play doesnt please everyone, how much they charge will be too much for a percentage of people, etc... You get 10 shows in the Greater Boston area, then one time you see a show in Portland or Providence and people from Port/Prov get shut out because everyone from Boston is quicker.
All factors combined, there is going to be a large-sized sect unhappy and complaining. Everyone spends their $20 a year and we all think we are entitled to the highest level, red carpet treatment. Especially those with low member #'s because, well, they have a case.
I personally think they do a great job. If they had one policy, it would exclude a greater number of fans exclusively. 10c changing these policies up, allows for everyone to get into a decent number of shows with great seats. I have been a member since 03, and being a member and paying about $100 or so total in membership fees, allowed me ONE opportunity to sit 3 rows away from EV at a solo show last year. Right there, it paid for itself. Thats excluding all the other opportunities/26th row 10c tix Ive gotten/merch sales/etc... Im sure 90% of the 10c who have been around since 03 or earlier has at least one great night as a result of the 10c and their ticket policies. A lot of folks may have too many to count.

that is not the 10C's fault. personally i think the 10C is one of the most fan oriented fan clubs out there.
A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'

That band sucked all kinds of ass....It's easy to see why somone would hate them.
As for the TEN CLUB...
I think they are miles ahead of about 90% of Pearl Jams peers as far as fan clubs go.
I think people just like to bitch. Everyone expects the world to be handed to them from this tiny little organization, yet have no idea or concept of how hard the TEN CLUB people actually work to give us what they give us every year.
The TEN CLUB or Pearl Jam don't really have to do any of this stuff. They don't owe us shit, yet thankfully they choose to do right by us because they care about us fans and make genuine efforts to do their very best to share as much as is humanly possible with us fans.
We should all be thankful that we have a favorite band that has such a cool fan club and community to be apart of.
All the bitching is lame. Nothing lasts forever, so we should all just sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts.

anything they do will make someone think they were slighted.
they could mail out $100 bills to everyone, and those who receive them last, overseas would complain.
Because they are spoiled.
